Students Join Honor Society

Carson City PTK Ceremony

One of the largest classes in Western Nevada College history has been inducted into Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society in two ceremonies this spring.

WNC’s Carson City and Fallon chapters of PTK welcomed 106 inductees into the national honor society for community college students. Induction ceremonies were on April 18 in Fallon and April 23 at the Carson City campus.

To qualify for PTK membership, students must complete a minimum of 12 hours of associate degree coursework with a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, throughout their enrollment at the two-year college.

PTK was established in 1918 and has served as a means to honor and encourage academic achievement. The organization also provides opportunities for individual student growth and development through honors, leadership and service programming. Today, PTK includes more than 2.5 million members.
